Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Identifying quality requirements and/or standards for the project and product and documenting how the project will demonstrate compliance






2. Deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables






3. Project model that translates the uncertainties specified at a detailed level into the potential impact on objectives that are expressed at the level of the total project. Monte Carlo Analysis






4. Model used in conjunction with manual methods or project management software to perform schedule network analysis to generate the project schedule for use in managing the executing or a project






5. Bar chart showing the amount of time that a resource is scheduled to work over a series of time periods.






6. The process of defining and documenting stakeholder needs to meet project objectives






7. The smallest unit of time used in scheduling a project. calendar units are generally in hours - days - or weeks - but can also be in quarters years - months - shifts - or even minutes






8. Analytical procedure in which each potential failure mode in every component of a product is analyzed to determine its effect on the reliability of that component and - by itself or in combination with other possible failure modes - on the reliabilit






9. Smaller portion of the overall project created when a project is subdivided by their logical relationship






10. An information gathering technique used as a way to reach a consensus of experts on a subject. experts on the subject participate in the technique anonymously. a facilitator uses a questionnaire to solicit ideas about the important project points rel






11. Total number of work periods required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component.






12. Directing - managing - performing and accomplishing the project work - providing the deliverables and providing work performance information






13. An estimating technique that uses a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables (sq. foot in construction - lines of code in software development) to calculate an estimate for activity parameters such as scope - cost - budget






14. Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.






15. The date up to or through which the project's reporting system has provided actual status and accomplishments. also called as-of date and time-now date.






16. Approved integrated scope-schedule-cost plan for the project work against which project execution is compared to measure and manage performance






17. Documents and presentations that provide organized and summarized work performance information - earned value management parameters and calculations - and analyses of project work progress and status






18. The approved estimate for the project or any work breakdown structure component or any schedule activity






19. A method of estimating a component of work. the work is decomposed into more detail. an estimate is prepared of what is needed to meet the requirements of each of the lower - more detailed pieces of work - and these estimates are then aggregated into






20. Calendar of working days or shifts that establishes those dates on which schedule activities are worked and nonworking days that determine those dates on which schedule activities are idle






21. Processes involved in estimating - budgeting - and controlling costs so that the project can be completed within the approved budget






22. Hierarchically organized depiction of the project organization arranged so as to relate the work packages to the performing organizational units






23. Sum of products - services and results to be provided as a project






24. Requirements imposed by a government body. government mandated compliance






25. Improving the competencies - team interaction - and the overall team environment to enhance project performance






26. Document describing how roles and responsibilities - reporting relationships and staffing management will be addressed and structured for the project






27. Document describing how project risk management will be structured and performed on the project. contains the list of project risks - the results of risk analysis and risk responses






28. The process of completing each project procurement






29. Approach to optimize project life cycle costs - save time - increase profits - improve quality - expand market share - solve problems - and use resources more effectively






30. The merging or joining of parallel schedule network paths into the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by a schedule activity with more than one predecessor activity






31. Developing a detailed description of the project and product






32. Collection of schedule activity dependencies that makes up a project schedule network diagram






33. Logical relationship where initiation of work of the successor activity depends on the completion of work of the predecessor activity






34. Term used in precedence diagramming method for a logical relationship in current usage. precedence relationship - logical relationship and dependency are interchangeably used






35. Extending or generating parallel schedule network paths from the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by schedule activity with more than one successor activity






36. Category or rank used to distinguish items that have the same functional use but do not share the same requirements for quality






37. Hybrid contractual arrangement containing aspects of both cost reimbursable and fixed price contracts. time and material contract have no definitive end - can grow. units are preset by the buyer and seller.






38. Group of potential causes of risk. such as technical - external - organizational - environmental - project management. a category may include subcategories






39. An estimating technique that uses the values of parameters - such as scope - cost - budget - and duration or measures of scale such as size - weight - and complexity from a previous similar activity as the basis of estimating the same parameter or me






40. Risk response planning technique associated with threats that seeks to reduce the probability of occurrence or impact of a risk to below an acceptable threshold






41. Planning technique used to provide products - services and results that truly reflect customer requirements by translating those customer requirements into the appropriate technical requirements for each phase of project product development






42. The calculation of late finish dates and late start dates for uncompleted portions of all schedule activities. determined by working backward through the schedule network logic from the projects end date






43. The expected total cost of a schedule activity - a work breakdown structure component or the project when the defined scope of work will be completed. Calculated based on performance to date or estimated by the project team based on other factors






44. A point in time associated with schedule activity's completion.
